Duffys Hodey (G)
FAV
Multiple winning hurdler who opened account in this sphere in 12-runner handicap at Limerick (22.6f, heavy, 11/4) 3 days ago, leading run-in. Has been treated very leniently judged on hurdling form and capable of following up under a penal…

College Causeway (G)

Runner-up twice in the spring but ran poorly when pulled up in handicap chase at Hexham (24.2f, good to soft, 15/2) when last seen 6 months ago. Will need to hit the ground running to feature.

Nolans Rocco (M)
Showed more than previously when seventh of 14 in handicap chase at this course (21.4f, soft, 10/1) 37 days ago, rallying from last. Probably wants further than this on that evidence.

Volez Vous (M)
[B1T]
Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Punchestown (23.9f, heavy, 20/1) 3 weeks ago, struggling eighth. Didn't show much sent chasing on penultimate start and hopes pinned on first-time blinkers sparking a revival.

Course winner. Fared better than for a while when third of 18 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Limerick (21.4f, heavy) 4 days ago. Not discounted if translating that form back over fences.
